Why? All these components -- polkit, dbus, wayland, pipewire -- allow for sandboxing of applications. Flatpak already makes use of that to isolate applications from the system.

If anything it will reduce the security nightmare.
I would say most pieces of furniture sold these days are made of engineered wood [0], if that's what you mean by "composite materials". Aside from easier sourcing, I presume that a big driver of it's use is the fact that it is easier to shape and produce - no having to figure out how it will be assembled using the various sizes of timber available.

The actual solid-wood furniture I have seen is either quite expensive, or (somewhat ironically) unfinished.

All this being said, if you do have the money to spare, spending a bit on quality or better labor practices is good. For example, I bought my bed frame from a company in the UK[1], and was quite happy with the finished product (despite some unfortunate luck with a part of the frame, which I put down to the fact that I ordered during the holidays).

Are we going to talk about SUDO security and its implications?

For me future is less, but more controllable features. Things like dbus based security, snap or "universe" repo on Ubuntu are absolutely out of questions.

I really like OpenSuse and its direction. Conservative, yet fresh packages. Automated testing. Curated yet substantial package base. Package manager integrated with BTRFS snapshots...

Module should be implemented as a separate process running under unprivileged user and communication should be done via pipes. It's UNIX-way. If I understand it correctly, currently module is implemented as a shared library executing under root sharing all the memory with other modules and main program. This exposes way too many opportunities to exploit any vulnerability.
I love this. On the one hand it's so sleek and cute and then again it has a seriousness to it due to mimicking real hardware applications.

Communism and Capitalism seem like competing ways of allocating resources when they are scarce. Do resources get allocated by central planning, or are they allocated by people trading with each other?

When scarcity ends, I'm not sure either of them are valid descriptions any more. You could say it's communism because there is no private property, but with infinite resources why would there be? If someone (say) takes my jetpack, but I can click my fingers and have an identical one appear then what would be the point in "owning" one?
Buying rain forest would mean nothing for illegal rare wood markets, or illegal gold mining, or illegal forest fires to stretch cattle grazing area.

Most people grossly underestimate how wild and pretty much lawless inland rain-forest regions are in the Brazilian state of Amazonas. There are small pockets of settlements everywhere but except for Manaus there is very sparse infrastructure, Police will take days to get somewhere by boat, Healthcare deep in the forest is pretty much a death sentence if you happen to need urgent critical care. You have people that have never been registered with social security, etc.

My point is that having a piece of paper saying that a specific rosewood tree belongs to IKEA or <NGO> would mean nothing, by the time you try to enforce this, the tree would have been fellen, cut, and shipped on a boat to the highest bidder.

If you want actual change in the region you need to develop the local economy with jobs that allow these people to be productive in a way that is somehow more profitable than the existing illegal activities. But the practicalities of this are much harder to implement then simply blank buying forest land.
I had old gold touches but gave them to my cousin when his arm and wrist pain became far worse than my own. I bought more, but their newer designs (circa 2005 or so, I think) resulted in the ball joint breaking on 3 keyboards before I stopped buying them.

I can't be sure if they have fixed the breaking joint problem, but I'm curious about your experience - how long have you had yours and how will has it endured so f

The people who rationally worry about superhuman AI comprehend this point deeply. The worry comes from observing that indifference is as bad as malice.

As the somewhat famous quote by Eliezer Yudkowsky goes, "The AI does not hate you, nor does it love you, but you are made out of atoms which it can use for something else".
The biggest problem is that furniture, instead of a class of objects with longevity and functionality has now become a fashion article, and IKEA is a large factor in that shift.

Kudos for Microsoft for that keyboard. Compared to the previous 4000 model they made the 2019 model more ortholinear. Notice the offset between the A key and the Z key. It is not pure ortholinear but it makes possible to type with your pinky Q, A, Z letters without stretching that much. This is the first popular keyboard which goes into the right direction and breaks the 150 years old design!

If your are more demanding then it is becoming not ortholinear enough. Later on you will want to have staggered columns like Keyboardio model 01, Kyria, Kinesis Advantage all have. After you'll try the QMK firmware you'll start to hate that Office and Emoji keys, which are under your strongest finger but are basically useless.

> If it's a false story, say it. If it's not - what exactly are you saying with your comment?

Right now it's not entirely clear what all the facts are. Perhaps she really was just fired for having an account, or perhaps she posted some things that were less-than-savoury. I think the chance that a Conservative publication would do any diligence at getting at the facts of the matter is essentially zero.

A few years ago a Conservative publication had an article that they had "proof" that Conservative accounts were banned more frequently on Twitter, based on "analysis" of the data. It took me a bit of effort to find the data, and it included shining examples of Conservatism such as the American Nazi Party. Yes, literally, the American fucking Nazi Party. It included a list of a whole bunch of other similarly minded people; I wrote down a list here: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Quillette#Banning_Neo-Nazis_is...

This is a very marked example, but there have been many examples where all nuance or details were left out because it was more convenient.

This is the kind of playing field we're dealing with.

Now, I'm not saying that you should trust other publications blindly – trusting anything blindly would be foolish – but trust is not binary, and generally speaking I would trust other sources more on this topic. A Conservative publication on topics like these without details are, unfortunately, not proof of anything right now and carry very little trust.

So, do I know it's a false story? No. Do I know it's a true story? Also no. Essentially a story like this is useless outside of being a lead for further investigation.

I really think that people need to have an AI shield or body guard that monitors and controls ones access to media, to protect them from harmful concepts and behaviors. This might sound fantastical, and I understand the vastness of implications, but it will be viewed as no different than wearing sunglasses or mittens. We wear clothing and protect ourselves from the environment, the mental environment out there is unlike anything humans have ever come across.

At some point, the weatherman will tell us about rates of state sponsored AI powered psyops campaigns across social media sites for the day.

This is a tough issue, and I don't see how it would be more humanist to support something like "all speech, in any situation, must be allowed and protected". Clearly some of that speech will be destructive, and harm people. I don't think you want to advocate that those people who are being harmed should be unable to protect themselves from speech they see as harmful and destructive.

Neither side of this coin is a straight answer; you can easily poke holes in either by imagining the terrible consequences of the alternative. The answer IMO is people, groups, societies, should decide what's constructive and destructive and converge on a balance that works for them.

The person in question wasn't fired for "random takes" but rather being seen in the vicinity of services that have been seen in the vicinity of people making decidedly non-random takes on political matters. And now she, perhaps correctly, believes she is the victim of religious and political persecution.

As for not being mass hysteria, from the outside looking in it's clearly exactly that. Firing someone because of a mobile app they have installed, when that app was briefly at the top of the app store, is ludicrous and wrong.

The US left appear to be descendeding into full bore anti-conservative hysteria. This is exceptionally dangerous because when the left has taken power in the past with that kind of mentality it ended up in bloodshed on massive scales. That must not happen to America.
"The machine they built is hungry. As far back as 2016, Facebook’s engineers could brag that their creation ‘ingests trillions of data points every day’ and produces ‘more than 6 million predictions per second’. Undoubtedly Facebook’s prediction engines are even more potent now, making relentless conjectures about your brand loyalties, your cravings, the arc of your desires. The company’s core market is what the social psychologist Shoshana Zuboff describes as ‘prediction products’: guesses about the future, assembled from ever-deeper forays into our lives and minds, and sold on to someone who wants to manipulate that future."
That is indeed a very sad reality in this part of the world. Since the fight against corruption that started with Romania's integration into the EU, things are a little bit better. Politicans are now held accountable but too late. We are mostly reactive instead of preventive.

Everyone hating on Ikea quality in the comments - but they do make some well-designed item, even out of stainless steel - that will last.

But most people seem to be buying that £5 coffee table out of paper.

Because Ikea is the only affordable furniture chain that makes good looking furniture.

By that I mean that Ikea furniture doesn't chase current trends the way all the other big chains do (I'm in Austria). So buying furniture from Ikea means that you can use it for a long time without your home looking from a certain area.

Also, going to Ikea with kids is a great experience. It's almost like going to a theme park, and alternatively you can drop them off at the Småland.
Well, it is Dutch. Just saying it isn't doesn't change anything. They're registered in the Netherlands and operate in accordance with Dutch laws.
I think once you've seen a few papers in high-tier journals that turn out to be bullshit once you start to dig a bit deeper, there is not other choice than to adopt this harsh stance on random scientific papers. Especially if you want to do work with that expands on findings on other papers that roughly look good "trust but verify" seems to be the way to go.

I've only recently dipped by toes into academic life in a lab, but it very much seems that PIs generally know which are the bad apples. E.g. when discussing whether some data is good enough to be publishable the PIs reaction was something along the lines of "If we were FAMOUS_LAB_NAME it would be, but we want to do it in a way that holds up". So it seems like there are at least some barriers to how incompetence would hurt the whole field.

I'm also surprised that there is no mention of the PI in GP's story. As it's a paper published by the lab, it's not just on the grad student "to do the right thing", but even more on the more senior scientist, whose reputation is also at stake.
>Over the perception of their actions, not their actual actions.

Trying to discuss in good faith here so hopefully this doesn't garner venom: it doesn't feel novel to be fired or quit over public perception of actions or statements - all my corporate employers since the onset of social media have had disclaimers to not enter the public discourse in such a way that might cause negative publicity for them.

>Nobody anywhere would care a single bit were there not mass hysteria.

This is what my original comment was getting at: claims of 'mass hysteria' come off as something like a conspiracy against a specific group or unfairly targeted wrong-think, which feels like a much more exciting answer than the mundane reality. It seems hysterical in itself to not just assume we're in a politically polarized climate and certain topics of discourse easily earn you close friends and/or committed enemies - something that can make any group dynamic fall apart.

>Also it's not necessarily harassment to call out people if they are not doing their jobs. It's just very (almost pathetically) petty.

Entirely agree! I do think social media has had a tendency to allow people to indulge in their worst sides without much consequence in the case of doxxing and, well, harassment by mass-reaching out to personal lines of contact. That's really distinct in my eyes from filing a complaint to their public employer for the public perception of their public statements.
Well, if it helps, they're the biggest land (forest?) owner in Romania, too. They own something like 50 000 hectares. It's probably not 1/3rd of Romania, we're a bit bigger :-p
For someone who does not know how much is an acre: 66k acres is ~27k hectares or 270sq.km.
.... and still you need something to run those apps and utils like Signal or Threema and those will never get into the base system. It wouldn't make sense. And you don't want to burden the developers of that software to have to package their software n+1 times for every imaginable distribution.

Thus Flatpaks isolation and sandboxing of apps using "dbus based" security, pipewire and polkit.

Two sides of the coin of a stable and extendable system.

An article published on Nature journal is the holy grail of biomedical research. Like this one, titled "Estimating the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions on COVID-19 in Europe"
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2405-7

It fits the bill bill and states "Lockdown has an identifiable large effect on transmission (81% (75–87%) reduction)"

Not a popular statement to make, but it is what it is.
I would assume superhuman intelligence can convert mass and energy to other forms of mass and energy relatively easily, and the mass/energy available on earth is a tiny fraction of mass/energy available even in the solar system - not to even talk about universe. Even the mildest curiosity of human behaviour would be sufficient to just leave humanity alone and just follow.
I guess this has started, indeed. In Spain, one of the Twitter trending topics is a promoted Ikea hashtag loosely translated to "unknowingly being an activist"... so I'm assuming it refers to this movement
I support legalization for most of the drugs.
To elaborate:
1. All legal drugs will help with contaminated drugs and overdoses.
2. Legal heroin specifically also will help with contaminated drugs and overdoses.
3. Legal heroin is bad on different merits than help with overdosing, simply because it is so extreme and there is almost no way for humans to stop it's use.

Meaning that legal moderate drugs is almost pure benefit with zero drawbacks, while legal extreme drugs has both benefits and drawbacks simultaneously.
Relying on purely on regex misses so much context available from a document. I've been working on some tooling [1] in this space recently and a core epiphany was noting you can model written language as an AST and then reason about it in this form rather than opaque blocks of text (or flat, sequential text fragments as with Typerighter). An even better realisation was that others had already noted this too and built a mature ecosystem based on this concept [2].

OP meant, that LTU has about 1/3rd of forests of it's land area. Ikea is the biggest owner of forests at 270sq.km. Whole LTU area is around ~65000sq.km., i.e. forests a bit more than 20000sq.km.
Some kind of sandboxing (mumble mumble containers) is necessary for the Linux desktop. In 2021 the security threat to a desktop user largely isn't other users on the same box poking around in your files, which is what the POSIX permissions protect against, but that every process you run has full access to all your files.

Meanwhile, the distro packaging process isn't keeping up with packaging all interesting FOSS out there, e.g. it has more or less completely dropped the ball on integrating with the many language-specific package managers out there like cargo, npm, pypi. And also it seems processes and workflows are stuck in the 1990'ies further preventing progress (e.g. https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2019-03-10-debian-windin... ). Ironically people run more up to date FOSS on windows or macOS than on Linux, where you're stuck with the schedule of your distro. There's also the irony that some FOSS apps fund themselves by providing builds for money on the commercial app stores, but they have no way to similarly monetize Linux users (e.g. Krita).

So some kind of base system + app store where the app developers can push sandboxed stuff with some automated or human curating like the mobile app stores around now looks like a reasonable model. I guess this is what flatpack and snaps are aiming for. Also, where should the line be drawn between the base and the app store apps? Presumably we don't want coreutils to come packaged as a container, but I don't have a clear answer to where the line should be.
